1) It seems that quite a few bikes have not been delivered (and/or refunds have not been processed) 2) There is an outstanding lawsuit (effectively Agency 2.0 subsidized bike purchasers to the tune of $600K) 3) There are defective bikes in circulation with no way to enforce the implied and...

Product liability insurance (the lack thereof) Fire and Explosion risk of the Battery (and the lack of testing and certification thereof) Warranty Accountability and the ability to find recourse These are type of business shortcuts that can have DEVASTATING consequences to the consumer/user...

Misleading Terms and conditions of sale designed to put the consumer at a disadvantage (eg Perk nonsense) http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/crowdfunding-regulations-misleading-consumers-1.3253220

Add in probable "California Sales Tax Avoidance or Evasion," to skirting ignoring or failing to know about domestic and international legal, tariff, and standards compliance.

The bike as a "generic bike" seems adequate and the marketing effort has attracted more people to "electric bikes" which is positive; the price differential can be attributed to costs which a "diligent business person" with something to lose {either money, reputation, or going concern} would...

Bad business He is not making court dates He is not paying the vendor who made him successful - $100 a bike He has yet to deliver all the bikes paid for He does not have product liability insurance - around 5% of gross sales or $50 a bike Many/Most people needed assembly support/help $50 - $100...

Sondors is up to it again, this time on kick-starter BTW, and as expected, he never shows up at court! http://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2015/09/74548-sondors-ebike-switches-sides-launches-new-crowdfunding-campaign-on-kickstarter/

The right word or phrase to use is "responsibility" or "selling something responsibly" respectively. Look at it from a parallax perspective; Hopp's point of view "having prototyped" a product at his expense and having nothing to show for it The "Fat Bike Frame Manufacturer In Florida" that...

From Dan at Yahoo Technology https://www.yahoo.com/tech/the-strange-unlikely-saga-of-the-500-storm-127816723624.html The story has more holes; 1) Product Liability Insurance 2) Testing and Certification 3) Customer Support 4) Ability to recall 5) Warranty 6) Recourse 7) IGG's conduct 8) Press...

It is a scam... false representations, a lawsuit, non-payment of vendors subsidizing your bike , no product liability insurance, no customer support

unthical at every level. A recent Forbes online-article that was written by someone who purchased the bike on Indiegogo called the bike a "STEAL" and he was not mistaken. 1) A civil theft from Agency 2.0 occurred when they were not paid $600,000. So if you have a bike they are subsidizing...
